Becoming a god by raising witches

Old Rani cursed.

"Don't mind me, old Rani, I'll get old too."

Locke comforted him.

"You have no way of comforting people, Locke. By the time you're old, I'll be lying in my coffin, damn it."

Old Rani cursed again, which made Fedor and the others laugh, and the kitchen was filled with laughter.

Locke started preparing lunch for Renis. Based on what he had learned about Renis over the past few days, Locke decided to make her beef and pea rice.

First, prepare ingredients such as eggs, beef, pea sprouts, white beech mushrooms, cheese slices, oyster sauce, tomatoes, and various seasonings.

Locke washed his hands, took the cleaver, chopped the beef on the cutting board into minced beef, and then put it into a bowl and stirred it until it became sticky.

Then add salt and black pepper, and stir well.

Locke rolled the beef into a ball, flattened it, put a slice of cheese in the middle, wrapped the beef patty tightly, and slapped it back and forth in his palm until it became a firm, round patty.

Heat the pan again, then put the meat patties in and fry them.

The meat patty's own oil sizzles as it drips out, releasing a fragrant aroma.

Locke pan-fries the beef patties over low heat until golden brown on both sides, then adds a little water and cooks them until done. He then removes the patties and places them on a plate.

Pour out half of the water from the pan, and use the rest to make the sauce.

Pour in a spoonful of oyster sauce and a spoonful of tomato sauce, and stir well.

Add an appropriate amount of cornstarch water to thicken the sauce, then pour it over the beef patties.

Then comes the crucial pea shoots.

Preparing pea shoots is very simple. Just boil water, add a drop or two of olive oil, put in white beech mushrooms and pea shoots, cook until the water boils again, then remove the pea shoots and white beech mushrooms.

Place both on the bottom of the plate, with the beef patty on top of the green pea shoots.

Finally, boil a poached egg and place it on top of the beef patty. This pea and beef dish is now complete.

"Locke, it smells wonderful."

Old Rani, who was watching from the sidelines, praised it.

"Yes, this dish is very simple, and everyone can try it at home."

Locke smiled and said, picking up his plate, bidding farewell to everyone, and leaving the kitchen.

The black cat jumped onto his shoulder.

"Locke, I don't like pea shoots."

"Xiao Ai, this isn't food for you."

When will you make me spicy chicken again?

"If I can still buy chicken when I get back tonight."

Locke promised.

At the same time, he was inwardly amazed at how carefree Eileen was. There was a high possibility that two evil gods were living in her house, yet she was only thinking about eating.

Locke went to Renis's office and brought in lunch.

Renis praised Locke's cooking skills again.

[Ding! Successfully fed the witch!]

[Witch favorability +1]

[Witch Rhaenys Hill's current favorability rating: 49/100]

"Locke, have you encountered any witches lately?"

"Renes suddenly asked."

Locke swallowed hard. “If you’re talking about Miss Jenny, I haven’t been to Peach Tavern recently, but Sieg and Dimour seem to have.”

Well, at times like this, the only way to deceive Rhaenys is to betray her teammates.

Rhaenys paused for a moment, then changed the subject.

"Instructor Anya Dubi said you no longer need to train. He has nothing more to teach you, and his health is deteriorating. He may have to go to a sanatorium. You don't need to go starting tomorrow. Go say goodbye to him today."

"Okay, I know."

Locke said, his head bowed.

How's your marksmanship now?

Renis asked again.

"I can hit it within 200 meters, but I still need more practice."

To reach the "Shooting Accuracy" level, one needs to practice 10000 times, but Locke has only practiced 1610 times, which is far from enough.

Upon hearing this, Renis nodded slightly.

Locke left the director's office and went to the shooting range to practice, his mind preoccupied.

After practicing with 100 bullets, Locke boarded a carriage and headed to Instructor Anya Dubi's residence.

Although he knew his training with the instructor wouldn't last long, Locke was still a little worried about the stubborn old man, not expecting to say goodbye so soon.

Instead of having Locke train today, Anya Dolby invited him into the house, and the two sat together quietly drinking tea.

Kosorks enjoy drinking tea, especially black tea.

Even the elderly Anya Dolby was not immune to this trend.

The black tea was served with cookies, which Anya Dubi baked herself.

"Locke, you don't need to come starting tomorrow."

Anya Dolby said.

"Yes, the director told me."

Locke responded in a low voice.

"The flowers and plants in the yard are almost neglected, I need to go to a sanatorium."

Anya Dolby said calmly, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to help you."

Locke knew that Anya Dolby's life was nearing its end, and he didn't know what to say to comfort the aging woman.

"Locke, you are a very talented student. Although I have not taught you for long, I have seen your character and personality very clearly. I believe you will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Anya Dolby patted Locke on the shoulder.

This was the first time Instructor Anya Dolby had ever praised Locke like this.

"Thank you, you are also an excellent instructor."

"Come with me for a walk in the yard."

Anya Dolby put down her teacup, stood up, and walked out.

Locke followed closely behind, while in the yard, the black dog was chasing a mouse and having a great time.

Anya Dolby looked at the dog, a rare tenderness in her eyes.

“I will take him with me; he is my best companion.”

"Ah."

Locke nodded silently. He didn't say much to Anya Dolby, choosing instead to be a quiet companion.

Locke did not leave Anya Dubi's courtyard until the sun was setting, bidding farewell to the elderly woman.

"Perhaps leaving this world before the war comes is a blessing for him."

Erin said.

Is it possible for us to stop the war?

Locke asked.

Eileen shook her head. "Impossible. No one can stop her from doing what she's set out to do."

That person? Is it the Queen?

You really have no respect for Her Majesty the Queen.

Locke grumbled to himself as he took Eileen and got into the carriage to go home.

Hannah and Alice still worked late into the night, and newspapers were full of news about the Queen's upcoming visit to the West End workers.

However, no one ever saw a picture or portrait of the Queen in the newspapers.

After dinner, Locke went up to the master bedroom on the third floor.

Rebecca was called out and made to stand at the door.

Eileen and Locke were in the room, preparing to use the Heart of Dreams to explore Locke's dream world.

The two lay down on the soft, large bed at the same time.
